Gray is great because unlike white it's not so bright for your monitor and unlike black, it's not some hipster reverse psychology pretending to be much clearer and friendlier to the eyes while making every letter seem bold.

I've not read it, but have read plenty of reviews for it (which are probably more entertaining that the books). My general impression is that it's a good read - for people that never read novels; so have nothing better to compare it with.

Its...'Mummy Porn'...That is what it's unofficially being called...

ALTHOUGH...From a man who's mrs has read all 3 books; perspective, it works out very well for your personal life if you know what I mean ^_^

Oh and it's twofold so neither is wrong. The first was the e-book phenomenon but....

much of the success of the âFifty Shadesâ trilogy may simply reside in its packaging. After acquiring English rights in March, Vintage Books released digital editions of all three books, followed by print versions in April featuring relatively tame covers compared with bodice-rippers of yore. Where one might expect two milky bodies intertwined, the covers of books one and two feature a gray silk tie and a bedazzled face mask.

âWe felt that discreet, tasteful covers certainly would being in new readers who may not have bought the books with more explicit covers,â Vintage Books spokesman Russell Perreault said.

The formula seems to have paid off, and since then, the romance industry has been keen to reap the benefits of judging a book by its cover. Not long after the series took off, Harlequin and other publishers began reissuing old titles with toned-down covers.

âWhat may have tipped the scale for the âFifty Shadesâ trilogy in particular are the nondescript covers. For whatever reason, the classic âclinchâ covers on a lot of romance novels tend to carry a stigma of being âold-fashioned,â so the covers on âFifty Shadesâ may have made the books more approachable for a larger range or readers,â RT Book Reviews Editor Audrey Goodson said.

âCertainly, there are some who might prefer to read romance on the privacy of an e-reader, but whatâs really refreshing for me to see is the large number of women reading âFifty Shadesâ on the subway and at the coffee shop. It simply proves that while covers may play some role in readersâ preferences, itâs whatâs between the covers that really counts.â

Your actually just down the road from where I spent most of my childhood (Just up the M1, south of Tickhill, in Harworth ^_^ was a 5 minute walk from Harworth Colliery...that was about the most exciting thing about that entire village haha

When my Mrs quoted a section of one of the books...It sounded like Hardcore Porn...so, I shall call it 'Mummy Porn' as women read it (Women can be mothers...) and it contains a lot of Pornographic text

âWith my roast beef platter now much like the south end of a badger going north, he thought it was time to start ramming my ring piece. Is now the time to tell him I really need to arc a sewer trout, I wondered? Hours of thrusting like this would leave any girl's panty hamster looking like badly battered road kill, and I was no different! It was bliss having his balony pony rammed inside me again; stuffing my vibrator crater with my fist just didn't get my depravity cavity spraying like it used to. After having my hatchet wound fucked, he then proceeded to pound my black hole. The thrusting makes me splurge my spaff all over his pink tractor beam.â
